We're dividing 878021 by 46 
We want to divide 878021 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
46 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 46

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 87 and we're left with 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 can be fit into 418 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 414 from 418, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 190.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 402 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 goes into 402 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1908.0
If we take 368 away from 402, we end up with 34.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 341 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 341 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19087.0
If we take 322 away from 341, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
190 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19087.4
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19087.41
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19087.413
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19087.413
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19087.41304
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19087.413043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19087.4130434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19087.41304347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19087.41304347 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
